Love, Friends and Internet

Growing up is never easy. As the years goes by, we have to make difficult choices, choose different paths, and deal with losses and separations. Of course, it's all part of the maturity process, and each time we have to go through one of such features, we grow a little wiser and further intelligence. But some choices don't have to last forever, especially when it comes to decisions that astray you away from your oldest friends, on which point each one of you has chosen different paths. And since our real friends are important, there's no point in leaving life-standing friends behind. You will only forget them if you want to. With all that we have to communicate, it won't be too hard to find those who grew up with you. So, once located them, what's the next best step? Simple. How about party throwing?

All right: throwing a party is not easy. You have to find proper location, then make a list, arrange drinks, food; sometimes there can be very stressful. But sometimes not. And many tricks can help you reduce problems and yet throw a fun party. First, the place: you can do at your house, saving time and money. Use the kitchen and the living room as base for the party, leaving the doors of other rooms (except the bathroom) closed. That way, you will limit the number of rooms that you will have to clean afterwards. And never mind decoration; it doesn't have to have a funky look. Just keep the kitchen and the living room as clean and safe as possible.

Now, let's talk about expensive stuff: drinks and food. First, bear in mind that inevitably you will have to spend on it. But can always save a little for the morning after scraps. About drinks, a good idea is to choose simple drinks. Never buy expensive booze or anything like that. Just go by cheap ass beer and off the peg plonk. After all, in a party with friends you won't have to impress anyone. The same goes with food; instead of spending on fancy gourmandize, just make something up and arrange it nicely, beggars cant' be choosers anyway - that will do.

So, aren't there reasons to forget old nags? Throw a little get together, with drinks and aperitifs, and the rest will follow. Just don't let old friends get left behind - often they're the most valuable ones.
